You could push a tag that points at a blob, so it is possible that
the push transfers only "other objects", but "necessary commits and
other objects" would naturally cover the case where the number of
necessary commits is zero ;-), so I tend to agree that *and* would
read better in that sentence.

But if we really want to do the progressive disclosure, I am OK with
the idea that hiding the details behind a vague words like "transfer
data necessary for updated branches" without saying what these data
are would work OK.

Thanks.
